Nature walk 20.09.09

A party of 14 of us met at the village hall at 10.30 and set off towards Standon, with a view to stop off at the Star for a lunchtime drink. En route birds were certainly scarce. A male kestrel was mobbed by several carrion crows and a few lesser black backed gulls were observed in fields near Broken Green Farm. The footpaths were in good condition so the walking was not strenuous. A chiffchaff was heard singing whilst gold and greenfinches made themselves known. Linnets flew across the stubble fields near Standon and a grey heron lazed its way towards Much Hadham. Several red legged partridges were seen as we approached Bromley Lane. Meadow pipits flitted across the golf course as we re entered Little Hadham parish and we finished off with sightings of the not so common common gull.
A wonderful walk in great company.
